What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we offer bespoke eyelid surgery to help reduce sagging skin, under-eye bags, and hooded lids—providing a fresher, more alert appearance.
This surgery is popular with both men and women looking to reduce signs of ageing or correct hereditary eyelid concerns. It can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures such as brow lift or facelift for enhanced results.
Your surgeon will carry out a detailed assessment and consultation to determine the best approach for you.
What Happens During Surgery?
Eyelid surgery is typically carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure.
- Incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease (upper lid) or just below the lash line (lower lid).
- Excess skin and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to restore a smoother contour.
- Fine stitches are used to close the incisions.
Scarring is minimal and well-hidden in natural folds. You’ll return home the same day with a tailored aftercare plan to support your healing.

- Reduces bruising beneath and around the eyes faster than natural resolution

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?
You may benefit from eyelid surgery if you:
- Have loose or sagging eyelid skin that affects your vision or appearance
- Want to reduce puffiness or under-eye bags
- Seek a more refreshed and youthful look around the eyes
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
Your surgeon will advise on whether upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty is suitable for your needs.
Like all surgical procedures, blepharoplasty carries some risks, including:
- Bruising, swelling, or temporary dryness
- Sensitivity to light
- Scarring (usually hidden in natural folds)
- Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with cosmetic results
- Rare risks include infection or vision changes
Your consultation will include a full discussion of the risks and how they are managed.
